I can relate, you will never get an answer that satisfies OCD, try to stay with the uncertainty that's the trick once you learn to be even somewhat comfortable with uncertainty OCD will loose its power over you.

I hope so... It's just so hard to say "I don't care" when thinking of myself as gay brings me unmeasurable anxiety...

@nat I know, OCD knows that aswell that's why it tries to scare you with it but even tho you do care acting like you dont makes a difference, for example if you start avoiding things to do with gay couples that would be a time you should deliberately expose yourself to them, let OCD realise that even through the fear you're not going to let it win, I know it's hard but I know you can do it!

@nat I honestly get you so much, it's a constant struggle everyday with OCD but even if your not doing those big exposures you're still going forward and recognising its OCD, so be kind to yourself when you feel like this, no one goes into battle when they already feel beaten up so its important to get that energy back and then OCD can get its ass kicked š

Omg I can totally relate to this šÆ. I've been in therapy since February and have been making progress steadily. But now, I'm in a slump and it's making me feel like I am gay which makes me so uncomfortable and so anxious. I've started up with meds again and it's going to take a while for it to kick in but I hope it'll work.

hocd
I donāt know what to do anymore, this started nearly a year ago and caused so much stress and panic attacks over the thought of loosing my boyfriend. Now it just feels real and that he always liked girls and suppressed it (but like the boys i always liked in the past were real feelings they had to be and with my boyfriend i love him) but i havenāt got much anxiety now feels like i want the thoughts and that they donāt bother me even tho they used to, this seems to happen every time i get a lil better, idk just feels so true and thatās what i acc want with no stress, just a lil scared.

Hocd
Iāve had hocd for around 11 months now. Itās gotten to the point where Iām just convinced that I am bi. I still like boys like I always have, but I feel like I like girls too. I have no anxiety either or active thoughts. Itās just kinda there like yep Iām bi and ok with it. Anyone else? Just curious.

hocd
I feel like I'm lying to myself, like I just don't accept that I'm gay, I don't want to be gay, I don't want to feel any kind of attraction anymore, I want to go to a psychologist to find out if I really have hocd or if it's just an excuse, because it feels like I really am gay, but nothing was authentic, it all started with thoughts that made me panic extremely hard and I felt like crying and I had delusions, I don't understand why this is happening to me, I didn't like any boys before the thoughts appeared, but exactly one day after they appeared, all the boys were attractive, of all ages, I want to recover :( I'm only 17 years old, for about 2 months I've been having thoughts, I don't know what to do, I can't go to a psychologist, I need help :(
